Lifetime has chosen Pat Spoonheim, or "Piano Pat" as she's known at the Sip 'n' Dip, as part of campaign highlighting women in every state.

The television channel's "Her America: 50 Women, 50 States" campaign aims to capture diverse women's voices and picked a pro-Trump lesbian immigrant, a teen Instagram star and the first Asian-American U.S. Senator, among others.

The goal? "Giving a fresh perspective to differing political, social and economic views."

As to why Lifetime people picked Spoonheim from among the 500,000+ women of Montana, Lea Goldman, editor in chief at Lifetime, said a Bozeman crew member tipped a crew off to Spoonheim and the legendary tiki bar at which she performs.

"When we talked to her from the road, we immediately knew her voice needed to be included in the project," Goldman said.

"She offered us a wonderful time capsule of the American West with unabashed nostalgia while embracing the new reality of her new customers and the mermaids she shares her show with," she added. "Pat and the Sip and Dip lounge are perfect examples of places and people you can only meet in America. She is dedicated to her town and her craft."

Goldman called the interview with Spoonheim, 82, a "wonderful reminder of the importance of including our elders in today’s conversation about our past and future."

In the profile, Spoonheim reflects on 53 years at the legendary tiki bar and how it's changed from "back in the early days" when "the salesman was on the road."

"We've got winners and losers, chainsmokers and boozers..." she sings as she plays Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar."

Spoonheim said she's learned she can't please everyone — don't expect her to bust out the latest rap song — but she tries to please as she plays "the old stuff.
